Life on the low-cost planet
Low-cost smartphones may have entry level features compared to their mid-range counterparts. However, the more manufacturers produce full feature smartphones, the difference is diminishing and the more prices go down. Therefore, hooking up with a less than $100 smartphone is no longer a myth but simply a walk through to some of the favorable brands on the market.
The Itel P32 retails between UGX 320,000-UGX 350,000 unlike its battery packed counterparts that cost at least UGX 150,000 or more. A case in point is the Tecno L9 smartphone which retails between UGX 450,000 – UGX 500,000, the Infinix S3 which retails for approximately UGX 470,000. The difference between these big battery smartphones lies between the price and device capabilities. Perhaps, the P32 wins the race with a price blow for its big 4000 mAh battery gifted with a dual rear camera.
